Ab in chest at the end of Run, Freedom, Run. Trust me, I was trying it yesterday with interesting results haha.

I played Bobby in a local production. The sustained note at the end of RUN FREEDOM RUN is an A flat, but the vocal "ad lib" portion prior to that is written to go up to a C. Thank God it's AD LIB, cause I was like, "Hmmmmm a C ... yeah ... NO!" And the damn A flat took the whole rehearsal process to get. It's a tough show to sing! But it's my most favorite role ever!

It's a great role. I would love if my voice grew to that Ab sometime in my life. I'm only 16 so it could happen.
And I usually just go into a nasally head voice for the adlib. It's supposed to be humourous.

Hah...I love this song because it is EXACTLY in my range. On a good day I can belt the hell out of it...on a bad day...it ain't so pretty on those high notes.

yeah, well the vocal riffs aren't all chest voice/belt, they're more like a falsetto-yelp sorta thing. plus its comedy, so if you were to miss the note or something, it would just be funny.

I'm pretty sure the really high ad lib at the end of the song is a high E. It's hard, but when you nail it, it's the best feeling ever.
Baby, dream your dream
Close your eyes and try it!
